"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Another comment at the New York Times about the moronic god fairy fantasy.
"Come on Democrats! Tell comforting lies about impotent Bronze Age deities who came to Earth as a pillar of fire to fight for the Israelites (because the people who wrote the story couldn't conceive of greater power) or who came as a baby and while here, failed to build anything, write anything, or even get in front of a single historian. None of this country's problems are going to be solved by religion, but let's talk about it anyway!"
